<\/em><\/strong>Microsoft is said to be working on an Xbox Surface tablet, according to the Verge.<\/p>\n

The device, which would be designed specifically for gaming, is rumoured to feature a 7-inch display and will run on a gaming-centric version of Windows.<\/p>\n

This will be a spin-off of the 10-inch Surface tablet that Microsoft has just released.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is keeping tight-lipped about the whispers. “We don’t comment on rumours or speculation,” said a Microsoft representative.<\/p>\n

Back in June, an alleged hardware document for an Xbox Surface tablet emerged, showing that the 7-inch tablet will include an ARM-based Texas instruments processor, 288MB of RAM, and a 1280 x 720 resolution.<\/p>\n

The document also stated that the device will work in conjunction with a “stationary computing device”, possibly alluding the next Xbox console.<\/p>\n

Microsoft have also introduced the SmartGlass application, which will utilise various tablets with the current Xbox 360 systems, but having a dedicated gaming tablet for the purpose looks to be the company’s next move.<\/p>\n
